Chapter 683: Habitat
Dozens of fishermen gathered around the outer layer of the ice on the riverbank, their fins rising behind their backs trembling with rage, their eyes full of ferocity.
Fortunately, they had obviously never seen such a thing as ice, and they did not dare to come any closer when they were outside the ice.
Tian Xian looked at the fishermen who attacked Tu Ge at the beginning, obviously they were all alive, Tu Ge did not kill them, which made Tian Xian breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately came to Luna's side, "Sister Luna, do these fishermen speak the lingua franca of humans?"
"Kill!!"
Before Luna could speak, a fisherman screamed, and the fishermen gathered outside the ice plunged into the water, and then heard the sound of clattering ice under the water.
After a while, the fishermen appeared again on the edge of the ice, all of them looking terrible.
Tian Xian couldn't help but laugh, this ice layer is not ordinary ice, but the incense is condensed by the cold air of the flash knife, harder than iron, the ice layer will definitely not be very thin, if you want to chisel through...... Looking at the spear weapon used by the fisherman, it doesn't look like it can do it.
However, Tian Xian also knew that these guys could speak the lingua franca of mankind, at least he had heard a word just now.
"Wait a minute!" Tian Xian shouted, stretching his arms and walking over, "Let's talk!"
Luna sighed, "Imp, I advise you not to go over!"
"Whoosh!"
Before Luna could finish speaking, several spears were thrown at Tian Xian.
Under everyone's gaze, Tian Xian obviously didn't make any movements, still stretching out his hands to the sides, but those spears seemed to be guided by some force, and all of them were weirdly missed.
"Look, this kid is a monster, the trick I taught him a while ago, and now he's very proficient in using it. Mo Sang was amazed not far away.
"You?" said Abbey.
"Why, why can't I teach?" said Mossan's eyes.
"You haven't used it yourself. How to teach?"
"I haven't used it myself, why can't I teach?"
No one paid attention to the quarrel between the two rivals, and the attention of the fight was still on Tian Xian's side, dodging a wave of spears, Tian Xian had already walked to the bank of the river, only seven or eight meters wide of ice from those fishermen.
The fishermen's expressions became even more ferocious, if it weren't for the fact that they could not move on the ice. It looked like they had already jumped up and devoured the sky alive, but there were only a few dozen of them in total, and after losing a dozen spears just now, they immediately became more cautious, and no one threw out the spears again.
"My name is Tianxian, and I am a human being. Tian Xian politely nodded to each fisherman, and at the same time looked at them carefully.
Living fishermen are still not quite the same as dead fishermen, in addition to their flattened and streamlined heads, and obvious fins on their limbs, they also have obvious fins on their backs and waists. These fins can fit snugly on the side of the body and are completely inconspicuous.
And now the fins are erected, and every fisherman is furious.
"Over there are my companions. Tian Xian gestured to the people behind him with a very slow and slow movement, "We were guided by the Elf King and were about to go to a place, but we were just passing by here, and there was no hostility. ”
After speaking, Tianxian kept looking at dozens of fishermen. "You ...... Do you understand?"
Seeing that the expressions of these fishermen did not change, Tian Xian couldn't help but start to guess that they might only know a little human language. It was a completely wasted effort.
"Humans are not worth believing!"
Just as Tianxian was about to gesture and communicate, one of the largest fishermen spoke, and it turned out to be an extremely fluent human lingua franca.
Tian Xian was overjoyed, "Of course, but we actually have very few humans!"
Immediately ran back to move Luna and Tu Ge over, and quickly introduced them. "You see, this is the lion, this is the elves! we are acting with the tribes who live with you in the Eastern Kingdom, and we really have no ill will. ”
Apparently unable to gain any trust, the fisherman at the head stared at Luna and Tugo with a cold gaze. "Why did the elves and the lion men come to our water tribe's territory?
Luna snorted, "Be careful what you say, you stinky fish, the Elven King just doesn't want to get your shoes wet in this land to indulge you, and if you don't know what to do, the Elves don't mind having a few more bones in the decoration." ”
As soon as these words came out, dozens of fishermen were furious and immediately attacked, Tianxian hurriedly dragged Luna back, turned around and smiled: "Calm down, calm down! I still have something to say! I have something to say! You...... And you, put down your weapons, put down your ......"
The fishermen were angry, but they couldn't help it for a while, they could only stare dryly across the ice of seven or eight meters, and the fisherman's popular fins were fighting, pointing their spears at the sky and shouting: "Despicable humans, leave our territory immediately!
It's hard to be idle.
The location marked in the map left by the high priest is in the territory of the fisherman, and it is still in the hinterland, and there is no way to get there without the fisherman's sight, and if you don't communicate well with these fishermen, it means that you have to fight all the way there.
Although these fishermen don't seem to have much combat effectiveness and are extremely inferior in weaponry, this is their territory, and it is not clear how many means they have, so it may be troublesome to turn their faces directly.
Moreover, there is really no injustice and no hatred, just borrowing a way...... Why shout, fight, shout, kill.
But looking at the current posture, I am afraid that it is not possible to speak well.
"The fisherman's combat power is limited, and we can kill it. Tu Ge whispered in Tianxian's ear.
Tian Xian was weak for a while......
Tu Ge, the big lionman, was like thunder even if he hummed in a low voice, he felt that he had lowered his voice, but ......
The fishermen could hear it clearly, and they were still in the river with a rattling stream of seven or eight meters......
In an instant, all the fishermen who had just quieted down raised their spears.
However, looking at the spear that shone in the sunlight, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in Tianxian's mind.
"Okay, I'll be honest, we're sent by the Elven King!" said Tian Xian loudly.
Tu Ge was stunned, Luna was also stunned, and the two exchanged glances: this kid is talking nonsense again.
"Elf King?" The fisherman led by him really hesitated, "How could the Elf King send someone here?"
Tian Xian looked at the corpses of the fishermen and the tide crocodiles at his feet, and said with an extremely serious expression, "The Elf King wants to know what is going on here. ”
The fishermen seemed to be touched by this sentence. Head to ear.
Tian Xian continued: "The water tribe has always been in harmony with each other, fishermen and tide crocodiles even often hunt together, but now they are fighting each other, although the elf king does not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the water tribe, but since it is in the eastern kingdom, the elf king still wants to eliminate this kind of dispute that may be avoidable. That's why we're here. ”
The fisherman at the head looked Tianxian up and down, "So, the elf king specially sent a human being?"
"No, we only learned about this matter when we met the elven high priest, and we were personally commissioned by the high priest to come here to investigate this matter on behalf of the elf king. ”
"High priest of the elves?" the fishermen looked hesitant.
The fisherman at the head exchanged a few glances with the fisherman next to him, and said directly: "There is no need! We didn't threaten anyone else, and the Elven King couldn't control us!"
Tian smiled idly, knowing that he had won the game.
"The Elven King doesn't want to interfere with you, he just wants to know what's going on here, we're just investigating. Before the fisherman could refuse, Tian Xian preemptively said, "And we have another task to do." ”
"The other one?"
Tian Xian looked at the thousands of corpses covered on the river beach, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "The high priest told us that it is not easy for the water tribe to reproduce. Asking us to save the people who are still alive is also what the Elf King means. ”
The fishermen were stunned.
Look at them. "We can heal the wounded fishermen, and the Elven King hopes that the people of the Eastern Kingdom will survive as much as possible." ”
The fishermen fell silent suddenly, and the roar of the river drowned out the sound of their angry fins......
"You...... Can you heal my people?"
Ten minutes later......
"Little ghost, how do you know that the fishermen will believe you, they don't even believe the elves. ”
In a murky river channel. Dozens of fishermen surrounded Tianxian and the group and walked slowly, and Luna walked beside Tianxian and asked with a little curiosity.
"They're simple. ”
"Simple?"
Tian Xian looked at the dense forests on both sides of the river, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Although this eastern kingdom is full of dangers. But the people here are very simple, there are no intrigues of the human world, there are no swords hidden in laughter, and in a way this is a paradise. ”
Luna shrugged, "You're trying to say they don't have brains, right?"
"No!" Tian Xian objected very seriously, "It's simple! ”
Pointing to the fishermen's weapons, Tian Xian said in a lower voice: "Look at their spears, although they are rough, they are obviously made by smelting iron ore, which is very difficult for the aquarists, there is no doubt that the fishermen are very wise, but they are still simple. ”
Luna was surprised, "Aren't we elves the same?"
Tian Xian smiled, and the smile was a little mysterious.
Luna immediately caught the strange expression, "Imp, what are you laughing at?"
Tian Xian laughed twice, "Elves may be the only race in the Eastern Kingdom that is not simple. ”
Luna wondered, "Why? You don't know any elves except me, you didn't guess that, did you?"
"At first, I thought that elves might be similar to other races, but after arriving in the Eastern Kingdoms, I changed my mind. Tian Xian looked at Luna with very serious eyes, "Sister Luna, I understand your position as an elf, but this time on our trip to the Eastern Kingdom, perhaps the biggest enemy will be the elves, I hope you can plan early." ”
"Enemy, enemy is our elves?" Luna was surprised, "what does that mean?"
"Now I'm just guessing, there's no evidence, and if there's a discovery, I'll be the first to tell you. ”
Luna frowned and muttered for a while, "I'll make my own judgment anyway, so...... Don't hide anything from me!"
Tian Xian smiled, "How can I hide anything from my sister?"
Luna gave her a blank look: "It's good that you know.
"That's right!" Tian Xian said as if he suddenly remembered something, "I have never asked, Sister Luna, how old you should be when you convert to human age, I always think ...... It's a bit of a loss for me to call my sister. ”
"What!?" Luna immediately raised an eyebrow, "You dead imp, do you still want to ride on my neck......?"
Tian Xian asked tentatively, and immediately attracted a series of bombardments from Luna's quotations.
Tian Xian can only listen, in terms of age, humans are not inherently opponents of elves......
However, Luna didn't say what her real age was when converted to human age......
When it was dark again, Tian Xian and his party followed the river to the fisherman's village.
It is an estuary of a three-pronged river with a delta in the middle of the estuary with only sparse trees on which fishermen live.
When approaching the delta, there were many fishermen gushing out of the river, and Tian Xian probably counted them, and there were hundreds of guards around him.
"Although the fisherman has a low reproductive ability, he has a long lifespan, about 300 years, and the group is relatively large among the southern aquariums. Luna whispered in Tianxian's ear, "Speak carefully for a moment, it seems that there are a lot of warriors gathered here, and the Fisherman King should be there." ”
Tian Xian's group was obviously taken as prisoners, and the dozens of fishermen took Tian Xian and the others to smoothly pass through the defense line of other fishermen and enter the delta.
The news seemed to have spread a long time ago, and before entering the delta and walking a few steps, Tianxian saw dozens of fishermen walking out of the woods in front of him.
The fisherman at the head was unusually tall, two heads taller than the others.
"It's the Fisherman King. Luna's eyes hardened.
The tall fisherman pushed away the other fishermen and stopped in front of Tian Xian and the others, a pair of dark green eyes turned around everyone, and finally locked on Luna, "The envoy of the elven king?"
Luna was stunned for a moment, and Tianxian quietly pushed her behind her back, and Luna, who had no time to react, took a step forward and stood in front of the Elf King.
Luna's heart fantasized about beating Tian Xian's nose and swollen face, but her face was frosty to the Fisherman King, "Fisherman King, you should have enough respect for the Elf King!"
The Fisherman King opened his mouth and smiled, his sharp teeth shining, "The people of the Eastern Kingdom naturally respect the Elven King very much, which is why you have come here alive, but whether you can return alive or not is up to you." ”
As he spoke, the Fisherman King waved his hand behind him, and immediately two fishermen came over carrying something. (To be continued.) )
